Jonnie's Matching Tables

Jonnie and Linda are two great neighbors and friends. Since we moved into our house 7 years ago we have shared some good dinners…Jonnie and Linda are always there if we need them and we are glad we live close.

A couple months ago Jonnie brought over a little table and asked if I could make him a pair out of some scrap wood…the tables are actually used as little benches for sitting around the fire outside. He asked for them to be the exact same dimensions…

At first I was going to just use lamintated pine from HD…and they would be real quick with some scraps added in…for whatever reason they day I went to HD they did not have any laminated pine that was wide enough…so I remembered some old pine shelving at home…and decided to go home and use that…

As I cut it into strips it was pretty warped…so I looked for some other scraps to blend in…I had just enough purple heart to mix it in with the pine…so it went from a scrap wood table to a fancy scrap wood table pretty quick…

Since these will be used outside I put 3 coats of spar varnish on them…
